Why Jean Folk? November 17, 2006
Posted by jean in : Jean's Rambles radio , add a commentOkay, I’ll confess: my family name is not “Folk.” I fortunately became immersed in folk music at a very young age and have held it dear to me throughout my life, as you can glimpse in my story Pete and Me. But I didn’t give myself the name “Jean Folk.” When I was 19 and at work as a telephone operator in Hermosa Beach, California, I was seated next to a friend one day when she put through a collect call (this was a long time ago) from a Jean Folk. “Jean Folk!” she said after pulling back the key to mute her voice on the call, “That ought to be your name!”
So here we are. Thanks for being on this journey with me.
